Hi. I’M Lauren.

Storyteller. Strategist. Mother. Builder. Agitator.

For two decades I've sat in the rooms where decisions get made: corporate, agency, nonprofit, institutional, political, organizing. I keep seeing the same thing. The vision is right, and it still breaks in the in-between, because no one wrote the story or built the systems to change how people actually act.

That's what I build. I borrow from the places that do this best: crisis firms and emergency managers for speed; media and tech for consistency and testing; and for trust, the people who hold communities together: service designers, frontline public servants, and matriarchal leaders. The practices are proven. What's new is putting them in one system that can move fast when it has to and stay relational the rest of the time. And building it to last beyond any one leader, and to travel, so others can take it and make it their own.

I work with civic leaders, change makers, and institutions in the middle of transition. And with high-capacity women in their own in-between, already in motion but not yet in alignment with their stories and sources of power.
